Single-Cell, Dual-Input Li-Ion Battery Charger Family For Tablets, e-Readers and Smartphones

摘要

Texas Instruments, Inc. (TI) has introduced a battery charger integrated circuit to support higher cell capacity batteries and increasing battery charge currents of tablets, e-readers and smart-phones. The highly integrated single-cell Li-Ion battery charger has dual inputs, which allow operation from either a USB port or higher power input supply (AC adapter or wireless power input). The two inputs are fully independent from each other and are configurable using the I2C interface or stand-alone interface.
